The Festival of Bones/El Festival de las Calaveras, by Luis San Vicente
Niko dice: "Mi parte favorita del libro es el dibujo del esqueleto que le falta una pata! A mi me gustan los poemas y las ilustraciones. Quiero hacer pan de muertos con mi mamá porque en el libro hay una receta. Este libro me da ganas de ir a México el dos de noviembre para ver la celebración del Día de los Muertos! Yo recomiendo este libro para las clases de kinder a segundo grado."
Lori says: "This book is bilingual Spanish/English and written in simple verse. Each short poem can be used as a stand-alone poem in a lesson, especially when accompanied by the illustrations - which are fabulous, by the way! They are done in scratch-board style with some color and are very comical. This book is tiny (measuring 7.5" square) and if being used in a whole-class lesson, it would be best to project the image and text on an opaque projector. A very whimsical and fun Day of the Dead book!"
My kids ages 3, 5, and 7 reaaly enjoyed the Pan de los Muertos recipe in the back of this book!!
